Is there a use case for making a move constructor explicit?

If not, then - given that a move constructor being explicit has bitten us before (see bug 1156538) - perhaps we should enforce, via static analysis, that they *not* be explicit?

(Suggested by :froydnj in bug 1156538 comment 5.)
I agree, we should force them to not be explicit.
I'll do this.

Instead of doing this, let's add an isExplicitMoveCtor() matcher that combines both of these.
